5-band color code to ohms
Type a value in bands (5) to get it in Ω instantly.
1,000Ω
The nearest standard values are 1 kΩ (E12, 10 %) and 1 kΩ (E24, 5 %).
Convert the other way: Ω to bands (5)
What it means
Where does that value sit?
Read the bands from the end without the gap; the gold or silver tolerance band goes last and is ignored here. “≈” means the value needs more digits than that code has.
The math
How to convert bands (5) to Ω
Ohms = digits × 10^multiplier: yellow violet red = 47 × 10² = 4.7 kΩ; SMD 472 = 47 × 10² Ω.
Example: brown black black brown bands (5) = 1,000 Ω.
